A couple of years ago Black Diamond set out to create a state-of-the-art biner that's both superbly clippable and easily cleanable. The result? The new Positron Carabiner…and boy are you gonna love it. With a “dual-trac” gate that's equipped with two railed edges and a broad, faceted surface—you can kiss finger slippage goodbye and consider hard clips a non-issue from now on. We've paired this unique gate with a keylock nose, so that snag-ridden route-cleaning experiences are now a thing of the past. The Positron's functional shape is easy to hold—and its bow back, smooth spring and deep basket make it the most versatile clipping, racking and anchoring biner you'll ever get your hands on.

i got the Positron Carabiner with the keylock gate to replace some of my other biners. the keylock is MUCH easier to clean than the others that have that annoying but needed little hook for the gate. if you get in a tight spot while following these won't hang up.
